Practice at Kitanoumi-beya - Charging practice
The last part of the practice involved the rikishi taking turns charging into each other and pushing each other across the dohyo. Periodically, the higher-ranked rikishi would finish by taking the lower-ranked rikishi by the belt and flipping him over.
Spent a morning at Kitanoumi Sumo Stable watching part of the daily practice session. Extremely interesting.
Many thanks to fellow Flickr member Maria♪ for inviting me. I had a great time!
